button object

[#1]

I have created several button objects to select data based on criteria.

So people know what they have selected can I change the color of the button?

I have created variables which set my selection criteria and each button references that variable.

You can definitely do this (see below).  You use a 'calculated' expression to determine the color.

Something like:    if ( variable='Selected', red(), green()) 

You can also use RGB()  color codes or even a color gradient  (colormix) to change the color.

color of the button can be a calculated expression; it can depends on your variable or a new ad hoc variable you set when the user click the buttons

ya U can change the color of the button by a calculated expression or u can use the RGB() color codes .

i agree with jpe   and  praveen kumar ...i think these are the answers for your reuqirement,...i give another small suggestion you can create a text box instaead of buttons and again create a small textbox(as line) or line ,when user is clicked a small line will comes and text color changes by using calculated expression

ok here is what I did:

I created a (vSelect) variable.

Under my button object I went out to actions and added Set Variable and typed in =vSelect

I already had a set variable to select my selection criteria called vNetUse

then I went to actions and brought in Select in FIeld

under the field I put in my field that was going to pull the data

under Search String is typed   =$(vNetUse)

Now what is the expression I need to change the color and where do I put it?

Do I need an expression under the vSelect action

OR

Do I need the expression in the vSelect variable

Here is a shot at what i think you want.  I put in a <reset> button as well.  Not sure how you want that to work but give it a shot:

u have to write the expression in vselect action to change the color
